Game Systems

Victory is not born of mere courage, but forged in steel and bound by arcane sigils.

A fool descends armed only with hope; a survivor understands the intricate machinery of slaughter. You must master the blistering heat of the blacksmith's forge, harness the volatile power of dimensional sigils, and learn to turn venom and blight against the horrors that await. True mastery lies in manipulating the unseen forces that dictate life and death in the depths.

⚔️ Equipment

Heroes carry 3 equipment slots: Weapon, Armor, and Accessory. Each item has a rarity tier and may carry magical affixes.

Rarities: Common → Uncommon → Rare

Class Restrictions: Weapons and Armor are limited to specific classes. Accessories are universally equippable.

Affixes: Items may have Prefixes (e.g., "Sharp", "Vampiric") and Suffixes (e.g., "of Haste", "of Wealth") that modify stats.

  • Maximum Prefixes: 3
  • Maximum Suffixes: 3

🔨 The Blacksmith

🌀 Dimensions

Each dimension is a 100-floor cycle. Beating floor 100 opens the portal to the next dimension—with deadlier enemies and richer loot.

Key Floors:

  • Boss floors: 50, 100
  • Miniboss floors: 10, 20, 30, 40, 60, 70, 80, 90

Enemy Level: floor + (dimension - 1) × 100

Enemy Stats: Base × 1.3^(dimension-1)

Deep Start: Option to begin at 90% of your highest reached floor, skipping easier content.

Steel may shatter and flesh may rot, but knowledge of the craft endures all things.
